General Joseph E. Johnston.
Of Gen. Joe Johnston, as he
now appears, a Washington cor
respondent says: “He is begin

he was born in 1806. He goes to
his office regularly and works
stesdily, but cannot carry quite
the load of responsibility a young
er man would take on. Gen.
Johnston's grandfather was born
in Scotland 1^3 years before bin
own birth. In 1727 the grand
father came to America to settle
in Virginia; Johnston’s father
was born when this first settler
was fifty-three, and Johnston when
hie father was fifty. So Joe John

and Robert E. Lee graduated to

A Xoauace la Cuba.
We asked the Cuban to tell us
something about a warmer cli
mate for a change. Senor Raraeriz
thought a moment and then rela
ted the following incident:
“I am a Cuban and I love Cu
ba, yet the extreme beat of tome
months each year is unbearable.
You remember the entrance to
Havana harbor is guarded
Morro castle. The garrison Dim
bers aboul 200 men. Three years
ago last June the temperature
rose beyond all previous records
and the suffering was intense. The
authorities were dreading the pus
aible invaaion of Cuba’s deadliest
scourge—yellow feveF. News
came to the city of the breaking
out of the fever at the castle.
Immediately steps were taken fm
the complete isolation of the fort.
Ns boats were allowed to land
from the infected locality and
none were brave enough to venture
the casting of their lot with the
garrison.
“The beat waxed ie intensity as
the days went by. Long bad the
distress signal waved from the
fort flagstaff. The inmates were
known to be dying by the score,
and in need of medicines and sup
plies of all kinds, yet in all Havana
aotoae heart aeemed brave enongh
to make the venture of relief.
which so surely seemed certain
death. Each morning crowds
gathered pa the piers and gazed
sorrowfully acmes the waters te
the fated island. At eenaet each
day we watched the gates open
and funeral corteges wind their
way down the bill to the little
garrison cemetery; we listeeed for
the volleys of salute their number
denoting how many brave fellows
had succumbed that day.
“One morning the climax ap
peared to be reached. The sun’s
rays fairly penetrated one’s cloth
ing and scorched the skin beneath.
No air was atirriag, and the water
looked like hot and burnished
steel. All Havana was gathered
near the shore, watching anew the
spot where fellow human beings
were bravely dying, yet gave ao
sign. As we apathetically gased
across the water, for the first time
in three long weeks e boat shot
forth from the pier of Havana. It
was loaded to the gunwales with
provisions and medicines, and
none in that crowd needed to be
told its destination. Our eyes
then sought the guider of the lit
tle emit, and, to our horror, saw
the sole occupant was a woman.
-Many a blnab burned red on
bested cheeks that moment. Thee
a universal shoot of proteat came
—loo late. Our coward hearts,
shamed by that brave woman’s
faarleaa net, awakened no to offer

her small haad. ‘I am alone,’ she
•aid; ‘from all Havana not one
regret will fellow me. ’Tie better

whose tenure hange the fata of

“We stood silent a moment after
the clear vaica ceased, sad then a
mighty rear of admiration and
adieu went forth. She bowed her

Another War Story.
Dear Editors :
I reckon it would be nothing
amiss to give a few sketches now
and then of Confederate times
through your columns. I will
first slate where we were, or some
of us who were in tbe 13lb Ga.
regiment: On June 27lb, 1862,
we were near Richmond, Va.,
fighting yankeea. I will never
forget tbe time. It was Friday,
and we went into the figlft in the
eveuing, ail eager for the fray, but
scared so bad we didn't know
what we were doing. Some say
we fired into our own troops, but it
was so smoky I don't know; and
something else was the matter
with me. I bad a chill, but was
not cold. After dark wc baited
on the balllefielit, there being
plenty ot knapsacks as well as
dead yankees lying all around us
One from each mess was permit
ted In leave tbe ranks and gel
blankets for the rest, as we were
wet with perspiration and the dew
was falling on u* I was sent
from my mess, and old soldiers
know that what was done had to
be done quickly—p sort of grab
game. 1 went in baste, for fear I
would get none. It was dark, and
tbe first bulk I discovered I grab
bed it. It proved to be a dead
yankee, and I stuck my finger in
bis mouth the first grsb I made,
and that was as much blanket as
I wauled. I went back to the
lines and gave one of my mesa two
hiscuita to go in my place. The
wounded were crying, praying and
calling for help, and water, in all
parts of the field and woods. Dis
tressing calls they were, aad made
by men from the various* States.
Next morning some recruits came
to ua, and one began to pick up
relics off the battle field to send
home to friends, such as pieces of
shells and grape aad canister shot,
and minnie balls. Tbe boys no
ticing him, began to assist, and
soon had about a half bnabel for
him, but making him mad be
threw them away with tbe remark
that be was ao tool.
I will next mention tbe 13th of
Jane, 1863, at Winchester, Va —
Here we had a fight, whipped the
yankees, and bad n good time
while going down the valley.
I will now skip to June 2d and
3d. 1864. We had a little fight
with the yankee sbarpggootrs
called Ellsworth Zouaves who
wore red velvet suits. We were
then called to Lynchburg, and on
the 18th bad a skirmish with tbe
yankees, driving-tbem across tke
mountain, down.tbe Valley, and
on tbe 24lb we rested at the Nat
ural Bridge,
I will state that I have my can
teen and haversack yet, that I had
in the war. They are not Confed
erate, however, and I don’t recol
lect how long I bad kept them be
fore, but bad item at tbe close of
the war. 1 also have a pocket
coarse comb, that I carried with
me when I left Cuthbert July 5th,
1861; also have n pocket bible,
which waa given to onr mesa, of
five men. at Grifla, on July 8th,
1861, by n good lady, whose name
is ua one of its pages. The agree
ment or the mess was, that tbe one
who outlived tbe mat waa to have
tbe beak, and an your correapon
dent was tbe only one living at
the close of the war. he kept it. i The Negro la Georgia.

the war. I hare the side hatred

Shad that Slag.
The singing shad has been seen
and heard in lower Delaware bay
this spring. It hasn't been seen
in large quantities, of course, for
the appearance of this odd fish in
these waters is a rare occurence.
But few of the singing shad have
enchanted the fishermen since the
season began. They come from the
south, and only when the wind
has died down and the water is
quiet They come ia schools emit
ting musical notes as they swim
along. Tbe sounds they iglke
are soft and something like those
of an need i an harp. It is bard to
express, or rather imitate, on pa
per, the melody they sing. Iff
rant something like this:
Wee bo, be hi do de; wee bo,
die dun.
This sound cannot be made with
any effect, except when the shad
travel in schools. The singing of
a single shad- is too feeble to tie
heard above the ripple of the wa
I ter. This year has been the first
j probably for a decade, that the
j singing shad has tavored tbe fi»h-
{ermen of Delaware Bay. Capt
| Arnold, one of tbe oldest and most
| truthful of South Jersey fishermen,
said the other day that he had
heard tbe singing shad a number
of limes in bia piscatorial career.
“They are rare of course, so far
north as this. Even when they
do come only old fishers are apt
of those people in tbe North who
have formed the idea that the co’-
ored people in tbe Sooth are op
pressed and denied the privilege
of advancement and bappineas.
They would have seen a sight
that would have forever removed
that idea from their minds. If
they could have seen the long pro
cession . of tbe colored Sunday
schools of this city, as it marched
through our ttreets on its way to
Magnolia Dvli to attend the an
nual picnic, they would have seen
hundreds of well dressed and hap
py children and adults, whose
courteous deportment and appear
ance indicated prosperity and
happiness in a degree equal to tbe
same number of white people in
any northern city on a similar
occasion. II they conld have seen
the long tables spread under the
magnolia trees, and upon those
tables spread sucb a profusion of
nicely cooked eatables as would
tempt an epicure, they would nev
er associate the colored people of
Georgia with the gaunt, ill-dress
ed, starving vagrants of tbe north,
nor would they ever again think
of them as an oppressed and de
graded people. If they could
have seen the white gentlemen and
ladies ami children who visited
this picnic, and seen tbe welcome
that was given them, and the kind
ly feeling existing between them,
they would have been disabused
of the idea t hat there existed a
feeling of animosity between tbe
races. We should have liked to
have bad those northern visitors
with ua that day, for it would have
been a novel and pleasing sight to
them.
We should have liked to have
to bear and distinguish them. We taken theee same northern vieitors
know about them and are more or to see tbe handsome and conven
iens on tbe lookont for their occa
sional arrival. They really be
long off the coast of Bolivia aad
Chili. There they are quite com
mon. All aorta oi fairy tales are
narrated about them by South
American fishermen. The ting
ing abad alto breed in Japanese
waters. The fishermen of Japan
are delighted when they strike a
school of singing shad. They fol
low them up reverently, liecause
they believe tbe fish are inspired.
They throw them food and never
catch or eat them.
The singing abad ia different
from the common back or roe shad,
ft is lbt so Urge, and there ie a
slight difference in the formation
of tbe mouth. Only an expert
fisherman can tell when be baa
caught one of the finny songsters.
Old fishermen regard tbe musical
shad as prizes, aad do not send
them to market unless they are
paid a very high price for them.
It ia estimated that they travfl in
schools of about five hundred.—
Their singing is pleasing at Brat,
but soon grows monotonous, owing
to tbe fact that it is n constant
repetition of the same few sound*
Whether many of these peculiar
fish ever go on up the Delaware or
move onto New York ami min
gle with the plain every day Had
ana river shad is not known. They
lose their identity when they gat
in with other fab, and it in doubt
ful if they ever ting alone.—Cepe
